Rob Van Dam might be in a position where WWE might never clear him for competition, but that doesn’t mean the WWE isn’t willing to work with him.
Back in 2016, Van Dam had to admit during his divorce proceedings that due to a concussion, he received “visual impairment” which has now disqualified him from being medically cleared for the WWE. However, the WWE did bring him in recently and he talked about it with the TC Martin Show as it has to do with the WWE Icons series.
“It’s part of the Icons series. A lot of people caught the Yokozuna Icons and I watched it the other day to know what to expect. I’m so stoked and it’s so good. It’s not going to be like another documentary. This is telling my whole story. My career, my life, it’s like having a movie made about you. We filmed some incredible stuff. They were at my house, my private gym, and they filmed me doing some RVD stuff. People are going to watch this and be like, ‘Why is RVD not in the ring right now?’ That’s cool. They got people’s feedback on me and other wrestlers. They got my family and even RVD CBD. There is a lot of freedom in this special to tell the story of the individual. It wasn’t the strict guidelines people expect from WWE.”
RVD recently finished up with Impact Wrestling, but he’s still very interested in continuing to wrestle as long as the money is right. There is no release date announced for Van Dam’s Icons special as of this writing.
